St Patrick's Church, Ballymena

The new church was destroyed by fire in December 1879, and it was restored by the original builder, keeping to the same design.

A new bell, made specifically for St. Patrick's, was cast in 1866 at the Sheridan Eagle foundry, in Dublin.

The new bells were hallowed on 8 November 1987 and rang out for the first time for the Holy Communion service on Christmas Eve of that year.

The bells are still rung today by a faithful band of ringers, twice on Sundays for the 11.30 am and 6.30 pm services, and for practice on Friday nights.
